Abstract

The screw (1) has an elongated screw body (2), which extends in the direction of a longitudinal axis (L) between proximal (3) and distal (4) ends. An outer surface (5) of the screw body is provided with an outer thread (6) coaxial to the longitudinal axis which is intended for guiding and holding the screw in the bone material of a patient. In the screw body an elongated channel (7) coaxial to the longitudinal axis is provided, which at the proximal end is open for accommodation of a shaft (8) of a screwdriver (9) intended for tightening the screw. <IMAGE>
